Cherry Ames Island Nurse

In Island Nurse, little does Nurse Cherry realize when distinguished Sir Ian Barclay is rushed by his nephew Lloyd to Hilton Hospital, that her newest case will carry her north to misty, sea-beaten Balfour Island, off the rugged coast of wind-swept Newfoundland. "Sudden hemorrhage of a peptic ulcer," Dr. Joe Fortune had quickly diagnosed, and Cherry is assigned to care for the truculent but endearing old Scotsman. Cherry soon suspects that more than illness is worrying the peppery owner of the Balfour Iron Mines, and her suspicions only deepen upon their arrival at Barclay House on Balfour Island. True, there is trouble at the mines. But the mysterious actions of Sir Ian's erstwhile friend, Jock Cameron, force Cherry to conclude that trouble of even greater consequence is in the making. What hold does the industrialist Broderick have over Sir Ian? Who is "Little Joe" Tweed, and why does his trawler Heron ride at anchor off Balfour Island?

Nursing Leadership For Patient Centered Care

Nursing Leadership For Patient Centered Care is revolutionary and courageous. It brings to light troubling issues that exist in nursing management and patient care.

Unlike other texts, it uses plain day-to day language and highlights the importance of authenticity, presence, intuition, sensitivity, and methods to reveal and eliminate problems and attain ongoing excellence both at the bedside and in many management and leadership functions. References are unusual in that they not only refer to contemporary experts in the fields of nursing and business but also hearken back to surprising resources that keep the reader’s attention and interest.

Diana Mason says:

"I really like it. Good topics and issues. The vignettes provide great examples that could lead to rich classroom or workshop discussions. Perfect for leadership/management courses and in health care organizations...”

“I can envision the book being used for RN to BSN classes and for ongoing discussions among nurse managers in an organization that is trying to be more patient-centered and/or a nursing dept trying to develop its frontline managers, I certainly recommend it."

Lisa M. Young says:

"Forman reminds us that nurse managers were often great staff nurses, and the care they gave to patients should be shared with others. Each chapter of this book teaches nurses how to make patient-centered care a priority.”

“This book should be read by every nurse manager. Nursing students and faculty will benefit from reading it as well."
